No Tea-sin

Attended the Tea Party here in San Antonio last Wednesday. Fox talk show host Glenn Beck was one of the featured speakers along with "wildman" (as he wItalicas called by a local broadcaster) Ted Nugent. Although Mr. Beck gave a good speech, Mr. Nugent really got the crowd pumped up with his rousing speech. His main point concerning bailouts. Simply put, anyone who offers to bail you out is just saying you don't have the ability to make it on your own... That, basically, you may be worthless. And that is, folks, how the government views much of us here in America. In addition, those who refuse to accept homogenization into a bleak, sallow society may be deemed dangerous.

Later, the Wildman himself continued to stir up the crowd with his rendition of The Star Spangled Banner on his electric guitar. He did this to pay tribute to our brave and marvelous men and women in the military. This fostered or promoted one of the many times the crowd would chant, "USA, USA, USA..." Outstanding. Outstanding also to think that chants such as those and other similar actions would raise the hackles of the Left and its minions. No doubt they thought that rallies such as these would be attended by those of subhuman character. I'm sure they were surprised--probably even disappointed--that there were no reports of anyone shooting guns in the air.


Of course, there was the main conception that the Tea Parties were nothing more than anti-Obama rallies fostered by a discontented few. True, I did see a couple of signs that referred to his person. There was one which had his face overlayed with one of those "no" signs (that red circle figure with the slash) that read "Obama Free Gun Zone." There was another which had "change" spelled out in a weird way. The "C" was red and I think had a red star nestled in. The "G" was green, seeming to indicate the Islamic culture.

Well, however these rallies were interpreted, how great can this be with all sorts of people exercising the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution giving citizens the right to assemble peaceably and to petition the government for a redress of grievances whether in the written or vocal form.
